Love Bisquick? Here is a simple homemade recipe that is easy to make (takes only minutes) and a lot cheaper and probably even healthier for you than the store bought version. Buying an unbleached and/or organic flour and organic shortening is a simple swap to make it better for you. Store this DIY Bisquick in an airtight container in the pantry and you will always have some on hand.

Homemade Bisquick Recipe

Ingredients

5 C. flour

3 tbs. baking powder

2 tsp. salt

1 C. shortening (I used butter flavored)

Directions

#1. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and mix well.

#2. Cut in the 1 cup of shortening. There are two ways to do this; you can use a pastry cutter (or your hands) or a food processor. I love my food processor so that is what I opted to use.

I added in about ½ of the flour mixture and then ½ of the shortening and blended. Then slowly added the rest of the flour and the shortening. Super easy.

Believe it or not, my Mom and Grandmother both made these premixes up and it was always in containers so it would save a bit of time especially during bbreakfast times. I always liked the pancakes a lot.

This is fabulous! I grew up on Bisquick dumplings and drop biscuits and this would be so much cheaper! Thank you so much for sharing and I have pinned for future reference! Stopping in from Lou Lou Girls! Have a great week!

To me, Bisquick has some sort of an off taste, so I’m not a fan. However, I *am* a fan of homemade biscuits, and if this mix makes it fast and easy for me to get a batch of biscuits in the oven, then I’m ever so grateful to you! I pinned your recipe, and I’m going to write it into my baking notebook so I’ll have it handy. Thank you!!

Do you have any proportions you generally use when making biscuits? Like, how much mix to milk or buttermilk do you use?
